The improvement of transit service quality is an essential role in developing urban and interstate transportation. The local government, as well as bus service companies, should understand the behavioral intention of passengers to meet their expectation and requirements. This paper aims to highlight such behavioral decision and investigate dominant factors that influence the customers’ decision to use the express bus. The study explores the case of express bus companies in Tay Ninh province, Vietnam. By using the structural equation model approach to analyze the data collected from 295 passengers, who have experienced in using the express bus, the results reveal that service quality has a significantly positive relationship with both perceived value and corporate image. Specifically, customer satisfaction and organizational image also positively influence behavioral intention. Meanwhile, service quality indirectly affects on behavioral intention throughout perceived value and corporate image. Based on the findings, we provided some insightful managerial implications and recommendations to managers of bus carriers, and valuable practical suggestions to policymakers in the local government of Tay Ninh province to improve the service quality to encourage more citizens to use the express bus.

The purpose of this article is to identify the dimensions of service quality (SQ) in the banking sector and examine the effect of SQ dimensions on customer satisfaction (CS), and therefore the effect of CS on corporate image (CI) in the selected public sector banks (PSBs) in India. The sample of the study consists of 640 retail customers of PSBs in the National Capital Region (NCR) of India and the data were collected through a structured questionnaire using a 7-point Likert scale based on purposive sampling. Therefore, the authors empirically validate a measurement model using structural equation modelling (SEM) through path analysis. The findings revealed that ‘tangibility’ and ‘assurance’ dimensions were most important predictors of CS among all five dimensions of SQ. In addition, the results also validate that CS is an important antecedent for influencing CI, and therefore CS acts as a linkage between SQ dimensions and CI in the Indian context. Finally, the research article presents the conclusion, implications and limitations and the possible directions for further research.
